A General Election on the 4th of July.

The Tories will lose, there is no doubt about that. However, it will hopefully see One Nation Conservatives make a strong comeback and an end to the right wing nutters such as the ERG and the Brexit loons.

Reform will take votes from the Tories and although they might not get a bigger percentage of the vote the Lib Dems will be hoping to take seats from the Tories where they are in second place.

Bring it on!

Yes, it's about time!

Saundra, D says exactly the same as you about doorstep canvassers ;) xx

We're in a strange position here on the border of the Longlevens/Elmbridge part of Gloucester. Despite being only a mile and a half from Gloucester city centre we've somehow been shuffled into the Tewksbury constituency! :shock: Absolutely ridiculous, as Tewksbury is about 15 miles away :roll:

Gloucester is currently Tory - it's one of those constituencies that always mirrors the General Election result, a Bellweather seat I believe it's called. In the recent local elections there was a huge swing to Labour from a massive Tory majority......

For the first time in my life, I might not bother to vote.
This seat is Labour, always has been.
The Conservatives have not been very conservative imo, and I have no enthusiasm for Labour.
None of them deserve a vote.

Our seat is Labour, always has been and presumably always will be. I shall be voting for one of the Reform loons - not that it will get me anywhere :D :D

Perhaps a stay in an Institution? Padded rooms are extra. ;) :D :D

My current seat is Labour, but it is being modified due to boundary changes. The new one could be Lib Dem same as the old version was for many years.

Oh blinkin' heck, another bucketful of soddin' Liberal Democrat leaflets through the door. :evil:

I've only just finished recycling the last load. :roll:

Tactical voting here - will vote Tory in a last-ditch, desperate attempt to keep the Orange loonies out of this seat. :o :| :cute:

But Ossie, if you get an Orange it has plenty of Vit C unlike what the campylobacter the Tories will give you. ;)

NOTA might be your best bet.

There is a photo of Rishi Sunak on the front of todays Telegraph. There is a look in his eyes; I think he knows that he is going to lose.

Our MP was in the news usually several times a week when she was in the Shadow cabinet. Since she was dropped, there has been
no mention of her either locally or nationally. Be interesting to see what is on the Labour leaflet which will be pushed through
the letter box.

It will still be Labour even if they put a blind donkey in as candidate.
